Whole poem translation

My old friend prepared a sumptuous meal and invited me to visit his country family.

Green Woods surround the village and green mountains span the city.

Open the window to the grain field and vegetable garden and raise a glass to talk about crops.

The Double Ninth Festival is here. Please come here to see chrysanthemums.

works appreciation

Poetry is written down from "invitation" to "arrival" to "hope" and "appointment", which is naturally smooth. The language is unpretentious and the artistic conception is fresh and meaningful. The author wrote the process from visit to farewell in kind and clean language, such as home-style form. His rural scenery is fresh and quiet, his friendship with friends is sincere and profound, and his family life is simple and cordial.

Then, I wrote a sentence or two from the invitation, whether "old friend" means being a guest for the first time. Three or four sentences are famous sentences describing the scenery of mountain villages. Surrounded by green trees, the green hills are oblique, just like a faint ink painting. Write five or six sentences about the taste of mountain village life. Facing the garden in the yard, talking about crops with wine is kind and natural, full of life breath. At the end of the two sentences, let's get together on the Double Ninth Festival and write down the depth of friendship.

"Prepare chicken and rice for me, old friend. You entertain me on your farm." This beginning is like a note in a diary. The old friend "invited" and the author "arrived", and the text was not rendered. Come straight to the point and come at once, simply and casually. This is just a possible form between friends who don't need to be polite. The invitation of "chicken and millet" not only shows the unique flavor of Tianjia, but also shows the simplicity of hospitality.

"We look at the green trees around your village and the pale blue mountains in the distance." When I entered the village, the author looked around for such a fresh and pleasant feeling. These two sentences are close to the border and surrounded by green trees, which seem to be unique and unique. The next sentence is light, accompanied by green hills abroad, which makes the village not lonely and shows a broad prospect.

"We open your window, cross the garden and field, and talk about mulberry and hemp with cups in our hands" is even more carefree. The word "open porch" here seems to be inadvertently written into the poem, but the above two sentences are written on the outer wall of the village. Here, the narrator drinks and chats in the house. The porch window is open, and the outdoor is reflected indoors, giving people a relaxed feeling.

"When I have a holiday in the mountains, I will come back at chrysanthemum time." Meng Haoran was deeply attracted by farm life, so when he left, he told his master frankly that he would come back to see chrysanthemums and drink chrysanthemum wine on the crisp Double Ninth Festival in autumn. A few simple poems, the enthusiasm of old friends to treat each other, the pleasure of being a guest, and the cordial harmony between the host and the guest are all on the paper.
